8:31 am

8:35 am

bichon

I get mine on the second Wed.

8:36 am

Scrabbler

I will have to decide whether to collect SS at 67 or wait until 70 for an extra $700/month. I just want to retire NOW.

8:37 am

bichon

That's what Mr. Bich did

8:37 am

Judi

If you can afford it, Scrabbs - retire sooner rather than later. I personally will not wait one minute longer than I have to to retire.

8:38 am

bichon

I retired at 62 and started taking it then. I don't get much, but I have union pension and investments

8:39 am

Scrabbler

Mr Bichon waited til 70?

8:39 am

Judi

I too will have a pension to supplement the SS.

8:40 am

mixi6

I retired at 57 started ss at 66.

8:41 am

bichon

Yes, we've been limiting our spending. Now that hes 70, we will have much more income. I also have TIAA/CREFF

8:41 am

Scrabbler

Time, money, work, ...such challenges. But health is #1.

8:42 am

Scrabbler

I have IRAs and 401(k)s.

8:42 am

bichon

At least we have affordable health care

8:42 am

mixi6

I got sick of work. went and had a financial plan, and they said go for it.

8:42 am

Judi

Good for you, Mixi.

8:42 am

Scrabbler

That helps some but hurts others with high premiums and/or deductibles.

8:44 am

mixi6

retired in 2007, then 2008 recession hit and investments were down 28% in the first year. Not what I was planning on.

8:45 am

Judi

I just want to be young and healthy enough to travel and actually enjoy my retirement.

8:46 am

Scrabbler

Yikes, mixi!

8:47 am

mixi6

Yeah, I seriously considered going back to work. In better shape now and a bit of a slide doesn't bother me so much.

8:49 am

Scrabbler

I would have panicked, mixi.

8:50 am

mixi6

hubby was still working, so that helped.

8:51 am

Judi

Hubby will retire well before me. :-/

8:52 am

Scrabbler

No hubby, no added household income.

8:53 am

bichon

But you do have a solid income

8:53 am

mixi6

hubby is 9 years younger than me. work was totally stressing him out, so we went back to the financial planner, and he retired at 55.

8:55 am

mixi6

got divorced at 30, then started putting 11-13% of gross pay in investments.

8:56 am

Judi

*** wants to be Mixi ***
